26、Rolling electric power blackouts afflicted(困扰) roughly 2 million California residents in August, 2020 as a heat wave gripped(影响) the Golden State. At the center of the problem is a state policy requiring that33 percent of California’s electricity come from renewable sources such as solar and wind power, rising to a goal of 60 percent by 2030. Yet data showed that power demand peaks just before the sun begins to go down, when overheated people turn up their air conditioning in the late afternoon. Meanwhile, the power output from California’s wind farms in August was erratic.

California electricity grid operators warned that power shortages might become increasingly common when heat waves hit in the coming years. California still has some natural gas power plants that can be ramped up to(提高) supply energy when renewable supplies fail. “But some folks in the environmental community want to shut down all the gas plants,” Jan Smutny-Jones, CEO of the Independent Energy Producers Association, a trade association representing solar, wind, geothermal, and gas power plants, said in August, 2020. “That would be a disaster. 60 percent of the power in the California Independent System Operator electricity network was being produced by those gas plants in this summer. They are your insurance policy to get through heat waves.”

Union of Concerned Scientists analyst Mark Specht, by contrast, said that “The solution is definitely not more natural gas plants. Really, if anything, this is an indication that California should speed up its investments in clean energy and energy storage.”

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．The population in California is growing rapidly.

B．California is short of wind and solar power.

C．People turn up their air conditioning all the day.

D．The government required people to use more renewable energy

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined word “erratic”?

A．Unstable.

B．Abundant.

C．Changed.

D．Increased.

【3】What’s Jan Smutny-Jones’ attitude to shutting all the gas plants?

A．Favorable.

B．Disapproving.

C．Objective.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What might Mark Specht agree according to the passage?

A．More natural gas plants ought to be built in the future.

B．Money should be invested in clean energy early.

C．More energy should be produced in the summer.

D．California government should carry out insurance policy.

27、Do you long to have garden-fresh vegetables on your plate every night, or to gaze out your window at rows of colorful flowers? No matter how large or small your yard might be, you can craft a garden plan to fit your needs.【1】

28、The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may”. He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

29、Last year, I found myself in a situation: at a friend’s drinks, speaking to a total stranger. Not long into our conversation, my brain started searching for escape routes. I’m comfortable admitting that, before COVID-19, I didn’t think “meeting new people” was on my list of preferred pastimes. Maintaining relationships takes time, so why open myself up to someone new if there’s no obvious connection?

Then the pandemic hit. Like many people, I was restricted to a year of limited socializing with a very small circle of friends. I’ve met a handful of new colleagues over Zoom in the last 12 months—but I can’t remember one meaningful in-person connection with someone new.

To my surprise, I now have a strong desire for meeting new people. I’d love to connect with a friend-of-a-friend at the pub or a new colleague over a slightly-too-warm white wine after work. I miss having unexpected things in common with people, but also hearing new perspectives on issues outside my own experiences.

The sense of connection with a new person can be thrilling. A 2018 study explored what happened to the brains of young adults when they met new people, and found that even 10 minutes of social interaction with a new person boosts cognitive performance. Other studies have linked new social interaction to better social and emotional wellbeing and improved life satisfaction.

I may not have had a “lockdown glow up” in the aesthetic (美感) sense, but I have learned about myself. Before the pandemic, I hadn’t realized that new people were a vital part of my social ecosystem. As the end of lockdown approaches. I’m prepared to find the courage to show strangers a less guarded version of myself.

【1】What can we learn about the author before the pandemic?

A．He loved being alone.

B．He was outgoing and sociable.

C．He enjoyed making new friends.

D．He had no desire to meet new people.

【2】The 2018 study is mentioned to

A．link new social interaction to better life

B．show the benefits of meeting new people

C．imply the anxiety caused by meeting new people

D．explain how the pandemic affects human brains

【3】Which of the following may the author agree with?

A．It pays to open yourself up to old friends.

B．It’s vital to guard yourself against strangers.

C．Meeting new people may bring excitement to life.

D．Zoom help people build close connections with strangers.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The author didn’t think well of the lockdown.

B．Lockdown enhanced the author’s aesthetic ability.

C．The author’s aesthetic ability needed to be improved.

D．The pandemic helped the author better understand himself.

30、I found the bed shaking, gently at first. Because I was half asleep and not a native, I just thought it was nothing serious.

On a lower floor I joined in a river of people and walked our way outside to the tennis courts, where a crowd of several hundred were _______. Some were crying, all were weak. Then I noticed that a woman was about to fall down and immediately I went to ______ her. When I looked around and saw frightened children in parents’ arms, my selfish thought was thank God that my _______ weren’t here.

Soon hotel staff were setting up chairs and passing around bottled water. They offered us tablecloths to wrap (包裹) around ourselves against the night _______ and shoes for people whose feet were bare. They seemed very _______ while in fact they too must be afraid.
